I always need a nap.

Obligatory disclaimer as obligatorialy always. Shows certainly do get better or worse than what their first episode(s) indicated, and most shows are going to be mediocre, forgettable, and no doubt disappointing to all the frothing froth people have whipped themselves into weeks ago based on second or thirdhand ideas about what might happen sometime somewhere in some source or other adaptation independent of the actual anime adaptation itself. I also absolutely adore everybody telling me how uncultured I am for not liking the latest, greatest noitaminA (or otherwise) hoity toity affair that will be forgotten by everybody precisely 3.25 months after the first episode airs, so please, tell me more about that.

Anything I’m going to cover for another week will have KFC by the link to my original post on it. That doesn’t mean I’ll stick with it, or won’t eventually pick up something without one, just that I’m planning to cover at least one more episode. Time/Day of airing tends to have the biggest influence anyway, and after that, it’s rarely what I’m excited about but what I think there’ll be the most interesting things to talk about each week. I don’t believe one has to be a frothing mad fan with the entire self and every cell of the dedicated to loving a show in order to watch it. Looking at the anime fandom sometimes, you wonder.

I skipped the things I didn’t make a post on because there’s a ton of stuff this season and I’m busy yo. I doubt I have anything worthwhile to say about bloody Fairy Tail or Yu-Gi-Oh years and years into those messes anyway. Maybe a comment on the sexualized hippopotami, but that’s it. Also, the goal was to finish it over lunch. Reaaady… go!

Oversaturated, but at least it’s not angsty. Characters are too perfect and dull to be engaging though and as usual, They Do Jacktm.

Wrapup of the Wrapup:

Ugh. I’m okay with Tuesdays and Wednesdays being genericish light novel fantasy adventure days, but the rest of the week… Maybe I’ll just pick some random VN and cover it like a show. Or look through my archives of games and find enough things to rant about for a good long while. I’m open to ideas. Those kinds of posts tend to eat up entire evenings which I could be spending doing more productive things, like finally finishing this furshuggan terrible segment I’ve been stuck on forever. But only 60 more lines to go. I can do it tonight. I will do it tonight.

Go ahead and beg, plead, flame, whatever. Back to the endless mountain of work.

You my friend know nothing about anime. *Takes out anime rule book* Rule 1: No adventuring and or action may be taken more than once per season and only if the audience can already foresee what will occur within. *puts away book* and so the rules have spoken. *runs away*
